Guess who’s coming next for Age of Sigmar? Looks like AoS will be roaring back soon with the Aelfs Here’s the latest on their minis:

BoLS is reporting that it looks like the previews from Warhammer Fest were foreshadowing the arrival of the Aelfs!

The Aelf Release

Industry sources tell BoLS:

Aelfs are the next faction in the Age of Sigmar release schedule

Look for a multi-week release window on par with January’s Fyreslayers

The modelcounts listed are:

  • 2 New Foot Units
  • 1 Oversized cavalry unit
  • 1 Large Monster kit
  • Aelf Battletome
  • Aelf Painting Guide

One of the foot units is described as and “Aelf-Dryad” unit, while the big monster kit is described as a “beetle”.

BoLS also pointed out that rumormonger Squiggly just also mentioned the Aelfs as upcoming too:

  • The Aelfs are Slyvaneth
  • The Dryads are armed with halberd/sickle weapons

What it all Means:

Well a full on Aelf release makes sense, as the new AoS summer campaign seems figure the Aelfs and Slaanesh prominently. Plus the story line in the Realmgate wars sorta of left a cliffhanger there as well.

Now consider all this with the pictures that we saw at Warhammer Fest this weekend.
